I repeat the words daily in hope that they’ll erase
the picture of a perfect man from my mind. I don’t want to
look at him intimately, but I can’t stop. Could any woman stop? I’ve seen
the way they ogle him and I’ve heard the whispers in town; the ones of
committing the unforgivable sin with the new addition to our parish.

Living in Pace was supposed to be easy, and it was, until I began seeing
Father Cameron as more than a clergyman. He was kind and quiet. He was that
perfect distraction I needed to forget my past.

Now that my body wants him, the pull is even stronger. His presence
overpowers the room, his scent lingers in my lungs for hours and his kind heart
is slowly healing my pain.

I pray for a resolution to my feelings but it’s not
helping. My mind is clouded and my past is catching up to me without my
knowledge…

Wanting him is a constant, needing him feels nurturing and resisting him
is impossible. After all, forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest, except when it’s poisoned…

USA Today Bestselling Author Lacey Silks writes erotic and
contemporary romances with a touch of suspense. Her stories come from her life,
dreams and fantasies. She’s a happily married wife with two kids who uses her
husband to test out the more intimate scenes for her writing – he said he
doesn’t mind it at all.

Lacey likes to make her readers blush and experience the
story as if they were the characters. Drawing on the reader’s most sensitive
emotions through realistic stories satisfies her more than… …ok not really, but
you get the point ;)

She likes a pinkish shade on a woman’s cheeks, men with
large feet and sexy lingerie-especially when it’s torn off the body. Her
favorite piece of clothing is a birthday suit.
